I think people who eat meat in general have no right whatsoever to complain about others eating certain kind of animals, or fish for that matter. That's double standard in my book.
For me, as long as the animal is raised for dining purpose, it's perfectly fine to eat it.
P/S: I don't like eating dogs or cats though I've eaten dog meat twice (being a Vietnamese, you just can't help it). I stopped simply because it was not my cup of tea

ps. at the end , its all about money .. people are trying to make a living selling dog meat. if u wanna stop it stop eating it. when the buying stops the killings can too. Hey, you will be surprise what human will do in order to survive. I'm sure you will find dog meat is the best meat in the world if you are starving for a few days
Btw, people seems to misunderstand alot about dog meat. Lets me clear something up. I eat dog meat few times a year. Dog meat by no mean is the regular meat as pork or beef. We don't eat our own dog, we won't prepare dog meat ourself. If we want to eat dog meat we'll go the restaurant.
For me, dog meat is just like any other meat.
I bet, if people look at an alive pig, then if the pig get slaughter right before them, most will not dare to it that pork. Same logic apply here. When I go out to eat dog meat, all that present to me are the dishes.
If I know the dog before hand, I would never eat them.

Idk stuff like this only seems bad to me because the animals don't have large areas to roam around and live a semi normal life until picked for death in a non mean way like..well I actually don't know what method that would be but seeing dogs and other animals in little cages seems vile to me and shows how stupid people can be. It may be a local thing some places and I have seen worse and even in the US there are worse things sometimes going on albeit not accepted by the public and stopped when known.
The big thing in this specific case seems to be that dogs have an emotional attachment to humans in "most" cases, I have not seen loads and loads of cows or goats that act this way but I realize that any animal can become attached to people so knowing that seeing dogs in small ass cages about to be sold for food in my opinion is mean.

Some dogs are born to be pets others born to be eaten, I don't see a problem there

What you do not know is that you have stumbled into dark, massive conspiracy of underground animal trade and consumption market that spans entire Asian continent, supported by influential mans in both legal and illegal territories. The man punching you has been surveillance tactic to measure the strength of their target, and now they have your face, your background, your balls, and you don't even know it. Now you, being chased by merciless assassination squad capable of holding its ground with most of the world's special forces, must travel throughout the rugged terrains of India, secret unsanctioned laboratory of China, dangerous capital of the only major communist nation in existence, to discover the truth no one would have ever imagined. A terrifying, ultimate betrayal unfolding in very heart of Western Civilization...

I'm a Canadian. I want the U.S., Canada, and just the western world to thrive in general for my own future prospects. But when I read certain posts in this thread from people who are revolted by the idea of eating dog meat (while being omnivores themselves), I just really, really, really hope the western industrialized world goes to hell one day and you guys are reduced to eating grasshoppers (my grandfather did that during WW2...), maybe then dog meat will start to become somewhat appealing, ya?
But again, I shouldn't even get all worked up because these are the same people that contribute to the $50 BILLION pets industry (just in the U.S.) every year.
I just don't fucking understand why this concept is so fucking hard for some fucking people to fucking understand. Fuck.
Let me break it down for you:
People keep pigs for pets. They do not eat their pet pigs.
(Some) People who keep pigs for pets still eat pork - I'm making a (good) assumption here, and moreover I know a friend that keeps a teacup pig in her room yet still eats pork.
(Some) People who keep pigs for pets still eat pork. They eat pork processed at slaughterhouses (where the prior living conditions of the animals are horrid, not much better or worse than those caged dogs). They do NOT eat their pet pig.
Now, People keep dogs for pets. They do not eat their pet dogs.
(Some) People who keep dogs for pets still eat dog meat.
(Some) People who keep dogs for pets still eat dog meat. They eat dog meat processed at slaughterhouses and restaurants. They do NOT eat their pet dogs.
Animals are food, dogs/cats/rabbits/hamsters/rats/guinea pigs/etc included. Get. Over. It.

Because my girlfriend is the same way along with my close group of friends. It's touchy issue for me and I haven't had my first cigg of the day yet (trying to quit).
With that said, I attended a family dinner last New Year's back in the motherland. There were dog meat, cat meat, deer meat and donkey meat on the table alongside your more popular meats like pork and beef. I honestly couldn't tell the difference between most of the meat especially due to the way they were prepared (very spicy and tasty), however dog meat had a distinct texture that was only slightly similar to donkey meat (more chewy) which I prefer over the regular chicken/beef/pork combo. If availability and price weren't an issue I'd probably munch on some everyday

theres nothing different between eating a dog and eating a cow. people don't have "whatecer reasons" to eat dog. it's another type of meat just like chicken, pork, fish, or whatever. same with dolphins and whales. the only thing bad about this is if they harvest them to the brink of extinction, which is a totally different problem.
